The Supreme Court of Georgia is set to hear a case next week involving a north Georgia man, Thomas Stephens, who is challenging the state’s law that prohibits adults under 21 from obtaining a license to carry a handgun in public. Stephens, along with Georgia 2nd Amendment, filed a lawsuit after he was denied a weapons carry license on the grounds of being under 21 and not being a member of the military. The Georgia Attorney General’s Office argued that the limitation is a reasonable regulation that does not infringe on the right to bear arms, and the trial court dismissed the case. Stephens is now appealing the decision, arguing that the state Supreme Court should overturn its past decisions regarding the right to bear arms. Georgia continues to be a leading player in the nation’s political scene, and Atlanta News First is providing the latest news and insights on this case.
